I've been running SH3 in Crossfire mode for about a year now, with no problems, until yesterday. All of a sudden, when I start SH3 I get an error "memory not read" issue, and the game closes. The only thing that has changed since it last work was this:
I installed itunes.
I installed OLC Gui 1.1.4 (was previously running 1.1.1, no probs).
I determined it was not the mod--I'm now having the same problem with just the stock version of the game.
The game runs if I disable crossfire in the ATI catalyst center, again, when I enable it the game crashes.
I have reinstalled the game (a few times) didn't fix it, re-installed the ATI drivers didn't fix it, inspected the motherboard, and reinstalled the cards incase it was a hardware issue, didn't fix it, and also d/l'ed most recent ATI drivers and that didn't fix it.
The only other thing I can think of is to completely reformat my system.. don't really want to do that. Crossfire works fine when I run other games (WIC specifically). All devices seem to be working properly, and am not getting any errors except when starting up SH3. Now, I can run SH3 with no problems w/out crossfire, but I have crossfire defaulted to enable on system startup, and really want to keep it that way, besides, it bugs me.
Anyone had this problem and found a way to fix it, or any other ideas on it?
System:
Intel DUO core 2.6
2x ATI 1600 PCI express cards
2 gig ram
Windows XP
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
